Secure Your Hungarian Golden Visa Through Real Estate Investment

The Hungarian Golden Visa program offers an exceptional opportunity for third-country nationals to obtain long-term residency by investing in the country’s thriving real estate market. This straightforward and secure pathway combines the benefits of residency with the advantages of owning a property in Hungary.

How Does It Work?
The Hungarian Golden Visa, officially the Guest Investor Residence Permit, requires a minimum investment of €500,000 in eligible real estate. This investment not only fulfills the visa requirements but also provides access to one of Europe’s most dynamic property markets.

Purchasing property in Hungary as a third-country national is a straightforward process, but it requires compliance with specific legal regulations. Here’s a step-by-step guide tailored for those seeking to invest in Hungarian real estate, particularly as part of the Golden Visa program.

1. Property Selection

Begin by selecting a property that meets your investment goals and Golden Visa requirements. Hungary offers a range of options, from modern apartments in Budapest to family homes in suburban and rural areas. Ensure the property’s value aligns with the Golden Visa program’s minimum investment threshold of €500,000. Our partners can help you with finding the appropriate apartment or house that also meets your personal needs.

2. Due Diligence and Agreement Preparation

Before signing any agreements, conduct due diligence to verify the property’s legal status, including ownership history and any existing encumbrances. This step is crucial to avoid future disputes or legal complications. A (preliminary) purchase agreement is then drafted by a licensed Hungarian lawyer, outlining the terms of the sale, including the price, payment schedule, and any conditions. Our partners are ready and willing to help you with this phase as well.

3. Signing the Sale Agreement

Once both parties agree on the terms, the final sale agreement is signed. This must be done in the presence of a licensed lawyer who notarizes the document. At this stage, in most of the cases a deposit (usually 10% of the purchase price) is paid to secure the transaction. Our trusted lawyers are ready to help you in the process.

4. Submission for Government Approval

In Hungary, third-country nationals must obtain official approval from the local Government Office for the property purchase. After signing the sale agreement, your lawyer will submit the required documents, including:

  • The signed purchase agreement
  • A copy of your passport
  • Your clean criminal record
  • The attorney's power of attorney
  • Proof of payment of the procedural fee (50.000 HUF in most cases)

This approval process ensures the transaction complies with Hungarian property laws and typically takes up to 45 days or more.

5. Completion of the Transaction

Once the Government Office approves the purchase, the transaction can proceed to completion. The remaining balance is paid, and the property title is transferred to the buyer. The title deed is registered with the Land Registry, officially documenting your ownership.

6. Integration with the Golden Visa Application

After acquiring the property, it is crucial to ensure the investment meets the Hungarian Golden Visa program’s requirements. The property deed and proof of purchase will be submitted as part of your residency application. Our team will guide you through the process to ensure full compliance with residency regulations.
